The Telangana Jana Samiti, headed by Kodandaram, will extend its support to the Congress party in the Telangana elections and has decided to stay away from the contest this time.
TJS chief Kodandaram declared this after Telangana Congress president A. Revanth Reddy met him along with other Congress party leaders at the former’s office and requested his party’s support for the elections to be held on November 30.
Mr. Kodandaram is said to have taken assurance from the Congress that the TJS agenda on employment and self-respect for the people would be implemented by the Congress if it came to power. Moreover, he was of the view that the ‘autocratic and corrupt’ rule of the BRS must go if Telangana had to progress with respect and inclusive development.
